Tight connection at NRT
In December I'll be flying through NRT on a tight connection (1h05) connecting from Thai to ANA in first.
Is this too risky?
Does ANA pick up and drive F passengers between flights?
Thanks.

1h 5m is OK for a connection in NRT, provided it is on one ticket. There is no drive between the planes. But if the inbound flight is late NH will send someone to the arriving flight to help you make your connection.

Moved to the Japan forum as the regulars there can give better advice (by the way, a 65 minute is fine, and both ANA and JAL will ensure you make your connection unless you arrive hours late).

There is zero chance that you will miss you connection unless your inbound is more than one hour late.

Thank you for the responses.
It is on 1 ticket with no checked bags.
Glad to hear we'll have enough time. Maybe even a quick visit to the lounge.
